North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan continues her campaign to see a lift installed at Whitchurch Railway Station.
Her call for a debate into the issue comes after the Government has been accused of hiding behind EU rules to avoid fitting lifts into stations without step-free access.
EU regulation states that lifts are not obligatory in stations with fewer than 1,000 daily average passengers, or if there is an accessible step-free station within 31 miles.
